@@kimf7261 thank you so much that's very kind I will try and do something around that time at some point thanks again for watching and commenting all the best 👍
Thanks very much for making this fantastic nostalgic trip around the best parts of the Black Country! We emigrated as 10 pound poms in 1969 to south west Sydney but my Father was fiercely proud of his heritage and he worked at the M.E.B. too. Anyhow, thanks again, Cheers!!
Two hundred yards from King's Arms was toll end youth club, opposite was tipton tavern, the pub you show As bombed. It was a parachute mine that exploded at the time of a wedding reception, a lot of casualties, The other bombs destroyed part of Aston Street. The old crown, I heard you say it wasn't used for much, but, from 1975 up till 1979 upstairs was a twice a week northern soul disco, Allways packed, and if you were in the bar downstairs you could see the ceiling bend allmost a foot with the beat,with upto 200 people above you.
17.25: The original offices in Toll End Road were those of 'Midland Electric Corporation for Power Distribution Ltd', whose power station at Ocker Hill was acquired by 'West Midlands Joint Electricity Authority' in 1927. The latter absorbed the authorised electricity undertakings of Wolverhampton Corp, Walsall Corp, West Bromwich Corp, Lichfield Corp, Cannock UDC, Chasetown & District Electricity Co Ltd, Trent Valley and High Peak Electricity Co Ltd.
The shop in Powis Avenue was originally 2 shops, Danny’s Butchers and a Hardware shop next door before it was knocked into one. Moved from Tipton 9 years ago but love it and miss the old skool community.

Thankyou , Angela,
I had my first illegal pint in the crown and cushion, brings back fond memories. I remember the little shop over the road too, I lived on the lost city from 1990 till 96. One pub you didn’t mention was “The Bush” halfway down leabrook road next to the canal.
Crown and cushion was a really great pub my dad was from the lost city he loved the crown and cushion I will definitely get round to doing the bush Inn at some point thanks again for watching 👍
I was born at the Waggon and Horses. I don't remember it though (the pub not by birth!). My Mom and Dad moved on when I was young to the Royal Oak at Dudley Port. My Mom told me I learned to walk while at the Waggon. One day, as a toddler, I climbed through a window and was running around on the roof. Customers and family were around the outside of the pub ready to catch me when I fell. I didn't fall but ran by the window where my Mom grabbed me! I keep meaning to return. I could say that I'm probably the oldest person to be going there as all the above was about seventy years ago.
It's always great to have memories like that I've only been in there a couple of times years ago but it was all of my dad's family's local or at least one of there locals thanks for sharing and watching I love to hear about the time of the past 👍
Most of your black & white pics were taken when i was a kid on the Lost City, my old junior school off the island at Ocker Bonk, and the Sardine can youth club by st Marks church, my dad used to drink in the Lost City pub, just 100 yds from where we lived in Hall Lane, i was quite disappointed you didn't show any of the Lost City apart from the pub.
The video itself is mainly what parts looked like and what they look like now the lost city estate hasn't really changed much over the years so to see a then and now picture it probably look the same thanks for watching 👍
I'm born and bread Tipton my self I am injoying these you showing me things I never new and that pub up princes end that just had toilets left I new was a pub but nobody new what was called you leaning me you never showed the royal over road from prince and Wales pub
And the molie hole never new what was there before and I use to live in salter road and I told story's of that pub but never saw a picture and that gospel oak thought use to be called ships didn't no it was the old landlady you learning me things I never new I joined you channel
My gran and grandad were caretakers and cleaners at the MEB...I have a couple of big pics of the old style offices. They lived, and my Dad was brought up, at the house next door to The Old Crown
I was working for a German company in Darlaston in 1990. We had a German apprentice staying in some digs by the church - can't remember where exactly, but he used the crown & cushion regularly. Anyway, he decided he would watch the Germany Vs. England world cup semi final in there. A few of us English guys joined him. The whole pub knew he was German and ribbed him throughout. But not a single bit of trouble. What can I say - the result didn't go our way - but the atmosphere was fantastic and there were plenty of sore heads the next morning.
6:40 I remember watching them demolish the cooling towers in controlled explosions with me dad, I was 15. It was on a Sunday 1985 summer holidays the first was brought down and then a month later the remaining two, remember as if it was like yesterday.
The King's Arms that's there now isn't the original building . It was demolished in the 80s and rebuilt. While it was being done they had a portacabin on site so the regulars could still go there lol. I used to go there with my boyfriend of the time with his mom and dad
I don't remember the original pub myself but I have spoke to people who do remember it I've just included it in the video because it brings back great memories of spending many great nights there thanks for watching and commenting 👍
My nan lived they hi yours to get the leterk cards for my nan meb Ween hi was a kid miss the old days and my fends it's gage from ween hi was a kid it's not the same Bels

Very True
My grandads' chip shop was damaged as per Tipton Tavern on 244 Toll End, must have been close to the youth club?
My friend's wife is from the Lost City and I never let her forget it.
@@keithpovall9996 oh yes my dad's from the lost city and he still remembers all of the good times thank you for Subscribing 👍

The Jolly Collier's now a Spar Off-License, which also has a Greggs.
That's right it looks quite inviting can't beat a Greg's 👍

Thank you. Really interesting. Pity so many people now have to put up with traffic noise near their houses.
It can be very hard to find places these days were you can sit in peace and quiet there's to much traffic on the roads I think we need more park's 👍

We also all attended New Road Methodist, which I think was next door to the bombed pub you show at the junction of New Road and Horseley Rd
@@paulwright7564 great times 👍

The Germans do love there beer and football it's great that we do here in England also it good to have a laugh 👍
What book are your photos from, Carl? Particularly the ones of Toll End Road and The Crown pub?🙂
There from a selection of books Tipton first selection second and third selection I believe there still available 👍
I'll get hold of copies. Thank you!
@@suewright4841 no worries 👍
I remember going to the blowing up of those cooling towers so well as a kid. A sad day.
It was a sad day but it was a sight to see especially being there on that day it's great to tell future generations all about it 👍
Slight Correction, the post office was where the new part of Powis Avenue joins Toll End Road, next to Georgie Willis's grocery store.
6:40 I remember watching them demolish the cooling towers in controlled explosions with me dad, I was 15. It was on a Sunday 1985 summer holidays the first was brought down and then a month later the remaining two, remember as if it was like yesterday.
The cooling towers were definitely a land mark for the lost city 👍
Great pictures, commentary could be better, 👍
Thanks 👍

My pal Mick the Bear married Steve Bull's cousin Sheila (no longer with us) and Mick used to kick a ball about with Steve as kids.
@@keithpovall9996 oh that's great definitely good memories to have 👍
Jolly Collier is shops now :(
Very true everything changes so quickly these days 👍
It was called lost city because back in the day there was only one way in and out
Very true 👍
Also it was called little Venice, you could not get in or out of Tipton without crossing a canal.
